When it comes to doing big cases the long way sometimes that's the only way it's going to work. Whenever we have like five or six cases of like the Excel meat or something it's 5 to a layer so 2 of them have to go the long way to fill out the layer.

I started a job at Wal-Mart distribution center about a month ago and I am just now starting to get the hang of this. I’m so glad I found your videos man. I really appreciate it.

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

Glad they're helping!

[@michaelrobert2808]

You may save new selectors from losing their job. Hope they see your vidz

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

I hope so

[@demetriuswilliams-ce5dd]

He sure as hell improved my performance 👍🏾

[@simonang6890]

Cases on sides, no room, squeezing cases where they don’t fit. Everything I do lol your Chanel is very helpful to me.

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

Lol, Thank you

[@lemans632]

Today's my first day of training as a warehouse selector in nyc. Your vids are helping me understand this job even before im there. Thank you.

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

You're welcome, glad to help

[@kiingkay]

How is it ?

[@blakecolbourne684]

Thanks, man! Day 3 after training. I've lost at least one skid every day. Mostly the back corners. I realise now where I'm going wrong. Taking corners too fast/Rushing in general, low corners, trying to make things fit. Not interlocking those awkward corners. And trying to save time by not giving it a mid wrap at chest height. The frustration got to me today lost same corner three darn times. If I had just calmed down i could have done it right after the first mishap.

First week is the worst

[@jeremygozda3629]

Another great video Tim, for sure this should help trainees. To be honest this stuff is not talked about in training. I would like add some other things to this. Knowing the pivot point on jack, when turning use your hips not your shoulder. Know which side of the aisle is odd/even. Learn the layer, if the layer is 6 don't squeeze 8 into that block and have a overhang. Build your dense pallets not swiss cheese. Know what your headset is saying, you should be able to repeat it would for word. Lastly and most importantly have realistic goals. Ask your trainer, to do 100% how do I have to move per hour in cases per hour and weight moved. At my place, 250+ cases per hour and 10k to 15k pounds per hour moved. When you have that understanding you can set goals.

This is a good channel for training I subscribe good job Thank you so much

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

Glad I can help! Thanks for the support

[@BtwlPicks]

Shirt looks great, great content

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

Thank you! They did turnout nice

A tip for new people: when lifting, try to have your head level as you are half bent over. Helps Keeping you from being bent over too far. Tim, you see anyone doing textbook lifting like the training videos instruct?

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

Very few do. I would say 95% lift poorly

[@Sonoma_Coast]

@@TheWarehouseSeries I think one way someone lifts correctly if they are recovering from a back problem. Happens with me until you get back to good.

[@dladam2254]

Every piling mistake can be avoided if the picking notes are planned correctly (with the size, shape and weight of the goods in mind). Most of picking notes are nonsense. They just follow the shortest route instead of stacking heave products at the bottom.

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

1,000% agree

[@brianaubrey5322]

I started my first day as a selector and this helps a lot ty can u make a video of driving forks front that was the thing I had the most problems with

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

I can definitely try. Congrats on the job! Any questions? Just ask

[@kiingkay]

How’s it going?

[@BenjaminHeyman]

I had the same problem for like 3 days. My brain could just not figure out that whatever way you turn the handle that's the way the wheels are going to go. At this point I'm much more comfortable driving forks forward then the other way. And I get yelled at about it constantly.

[@Lil_trento]

I was running 63% week 4 but next week I have to run 70% and I don’t know how to stack correctly 😢 hope I don’t get fired , thanks for the tips

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

Take some pics put on Discord

[@tonymctony4551]

Trying to remember where cases are in freezer warehouse, 4 days in and I probably remember 20 percent of the stuff. No location numbers

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

It takes time and repetition

[@shannonwhite8764]

Do you have a video on Repack order filling or could you give me some good ideas.

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

I'm not sure but I can definitely ask this question in Discord

[@felixpantoja3270]

Last week a crazy driver hit my jack. What should I do, should I let one the the trainers know about this issue since this guy refuses to be more careful?

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

If the person is making a habit out if it , it definitely needs to be addressed

[@DC-xv2kb]

Hey man it's my second day as a selector I'm having a little trouble sticking to the ties when I get different size boxes I spend to much time looking where I want to put it and I don't end up fallowing the ties do you have any advice?

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

Did you see my video on following the block with different cases? Honestly my videos of me selecting might benefit you the most. What kind of warehouse?

[@DC-xv2kb]

@@TheWarehouseSeries it's c&s I work in parishables I seen most of your parishable videos

[@inhabitantofearth]

When we start, what if the first two rows are nothing but light boxes? What should we do with those until we get some heavier bigger boxes?

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

I stack them on the front part of pallet and put heavy on back part

[@inhabitantofearth]

@@TheWarehouseSeries Would the front part of the pallet be the end furthest away from the jack?

[@TheWarehouseSeries]

@@inhabitantofearth no towards the jack

[@inhabitantofearth]

@@TheWarehouseSeries Okay thanks! I applied for order selector and I've never done it before even though I do have many years in warehouse work 😅 I've been watching your videos to help me prepare and they've been SO helpful. I'm grateful that you've uploaded them 🙂
